What a small fucking world...


Welch, 52, couldn’t process what he was seeing on his phone. He had helped raise Nazario and considered him to be his nephew. Welch held his breath as tears streaked his cheeks.

His wife, Raquel, was also a cousin to Eric Garner, the Black man who died on a Staten Island sidewalk in 2014 after an officer wrapped him in a chokehold. The national outrage, demands for change and immortalization of his last words — “I can’t breathe” — did little to quell the anguish his family suffered. Among them was a young man, Caron Nazario, who called Garner his uncle.

Btw, Larry. Ever have a cop pull a gun on you?

Yes.

More than once.

Me. too.

Not a lot of fun, is it?

 I took him seriously, stopped, made eye contact, and listened.

How about you?


Which time?

Details, Larry. Both times.

In my case, the cops mistook me for another person. They pulled the gun, barked a lot of shit, had me lie face down on the sidewalk, cuffed me, put me in the back of the patrol car, where I waited for about 1/2 hour until they confirmed from my ID and their communications that I wasn't there guy.

Was I pissed off? For damn sure.

Did I consider running at any time during this event? Did I argue and refuse to comply with the man holding a gun on me? Nope. That would be stupid.

Stupid people die.

Which is why you are likely not dead, too, Larry.

I’ve been held at gunpoint by police no fewer than eight times since I was sixteen.

I can tell you what the service weapon of McVeety (who drove sector car 109 for the 1st precinct of the Suffolk County Police Department) tastes like.

I’ve had no fewer than 30 police interactions since I was fourteen.

I’ve had no interactions with police since I turned forty five.

I’ll be sixty three in June.

Well, now you're getting help. So, likely you can make it to Medicare.

You should get help and you might not end up drooling in a corner

You should quit drinking on the sly. Or you'll stay at the halfway house.

I’m diabetic and only drink on special occasions.

Keep trying but you’re looking rather pathetic.

When are you gonna accept the fact i love my life and no matter how many times you try to portray me with projections of your own miserable existence?

Get thee into therapy, boy.

Sorry, but your take is far from reality.

And I just give back to you what you toss here.

But keep trying.

After all, you're the one who plays to the crowd, here, Buck.

Manslaughter is the charge in the killing of Wright.

Mr Floyd died of cardiovascular disease, contributing factor being fentanyl and other substances.  His heart was enlarged and adrenaline was also contributory, as was the handcuffing and the actions of Chauvin.

Cause of death therefore -undetermined.

- Defense witness

Second degree.  Ten year max

Good move to charge her, though some say under Minnesota law this is inappropriate

Not being snarky, do you believe that exonerates Chauvin?

This Chauvin witness is being sued in a remarkably similar case.
